Western Australia's Department of Water and Environmental Regulation slams the mining industry's lack of transparency about a prolonged dust monitoring failure in the iron ore town.

PHIC represents the users of Australia's biggest port, described by Federal and State Governments as the backbone of the economy.

"The monitor guides and directs management actions at a number of major operations within the port, and the failure of the monitoring site has the potential to undermine the entire regulatory approach of the department," Mr Rowe said in the letter. In August, PHIC concluded its investigation into the failed monitoring station. The report concluded data from the monitor was "potentially inaccurate" between April 2018 and December 31, 2019.Lynne Taylor, who owns The Pier Hotel in the historic west end of Port Hedland, said locals were sceptical about the accuracy of dust monitoring in the town."It's all averaged out. They exceed the limit every third day.

Public Servants blaming the mining industry for hiding dust issues. Does it get any sillier. There is red dust everywhere in the Pilbra, what do they think happens when you process Iron Ore. Perhaps if they left their cushy Perth offices, now and again.
